Audi TT: Project car gets coilover suspension

Fourtitude's project Audi TT gets a coilover suspension.

As many upgrades you can do to a car, sometimes replacing your suspension can lead to unwanted results such as diminished ride quality, as well as increased noise, harshness and vibration. Worse yet, a side effect could even be a resulting car that handles even worse than it did stock. In turn, an aftermarket suspension can also provide tremendous benefits in terms of reduced body roll, sharper steering and improved braking. However, as with any modifications, impressions of the results can be highly subjective. While one person may feel that a particularly firm suspension isn’t harsh enough, another may think that their teeth might fall out if the car was driven over rough pavement.

As some of you may be aware, Audi made several changes to the original suspension of the TT shortly after it was introduced in response to several reported incidents in Europe where TTs were swapping ends at high speeds. Not wanting to live through another “Unintended Acceleration” debacle, Audi issued a voluntary recall that included modifications to the suspension, including a one-time option of adding an electronic stability program (ESP) at a cost of $500 as well as an optional rear spoiler.
